So you're not voting for Bush. So you're voting 3rd Party. So what?
Cast your maturbatory vote, and go play with yourself. This is a discussion for grown-ups.
Glad you know that you won't support Pres Bush in 2004 -- please quit being a hypocrite and change your screen name?
You are also the person who told me that contacting over 600 (?) Members of Congress is a waste of time but you come on here and continually trash the President about the budget.
Government 101 Lesson #2 -- President proposes the Budget; Congress approves their version of the Budget and Appropriates the Money which goes to the President to sign. What happened in the 90's when the Republicans objected to the budget and the Government was shut down -- Clinton came out a winner and we looked like a bunch of obstructionist. Maybe you want to shut down Government in an election year, but I certainly don't.
Have you bothered to take a look at how much additional funding has been necessary since 9/11 or how much funding has been necessary to fund our military from all the cuts they took during the Clinton years?
Why don't you tell us all your vision of the country when the Democrats return to power.
Exactly what will you have accomplished?
Bull. You don't give a crap about the future of this country. You are perfectly willing to allow the military strength of the country go down the sewer, surrender sovereignty of our national security decisions to the UN. You are willing to allow taxes to be raised $1 trillion+, and throw away any chance of getting Soc. Sec. privatized, failure to do so will put this country in a worse fiscal situation than can be imagined.
Furthermore, the Supreme Court will stacked with those of 9th Circuit mold for decades to come as the next term President will probably appoint 4 or more of its members. That could cause devastating long-term affects on our rights and on the culture.
So save your baloney about "caring about the country." You don't give a flip about this country. No one who has made statements similar to yours does.
